Pretty Good

How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Nothing new. Nothing good. Story was predictable. I can't imagine how can one write such a lame story and most surprisingly how people like it. More than half of the characters were used for convenience. No real strength in the story. There is famous saying "Building castle in the air" to describe such things. Poor attempt from Vineeth who took far too much freedom in writing/making this story/movie.Navin's performance was below par, Isha's even worse.To summarize in one line " Routine, boring and unconvincing"PS: My friend (santosh) who likes a Muslim girl (Sameera-95% relevance) suggested me to watch this movie. I will kindly pay him back when I meet him.

So, I was overwhelmed by the response of this movie and decided to watch it. I usually don't watch Romantic movies and this one reminded me why.Well, the plot is typical. You add an inter-caste factor and publish the story in a 21st century where the girl and boy both don't own a mobile phone. The hype created was too much for this average movie. This type of movie can only gain success to people who have not watched epics from Hollywood & Bollywood. Or French cinema, for that matter!Vineet Srinivasan is very clever at grabbing the attention of cinema- goers who are bored by the usual remakes and boring slapstick.Bottom line, this movie does not have much to offer with sporadic jokes and lack of panache!I rate it 5 for the comedy part and Nivin Pauly's performance. Isha Talwar has dialogues equal to that of a cameo appearance by Srinvasan.BADS: Disappointing! Clichéd! Hyped!GOODS: Enjoyable! Romantic! Adorable & Funny!

"Thattathin Marayathu" directed by Vineet Srinivasan has a very simple storyline but bowl the viewers over by its simplicity, heart & emotions. It's been a very long time since one came out of the theater with heartfelt grin on the face. It once again proves that simplicity is the best even when it comes to movies.Movie traces the love life of the protagonist who falls in love with a girl of different faith & class. Though the storyline has all the clichés of the love stories of the yore, it is the treatment by Vineet that makes it work big time. The freshness of the narrative supported by intelligent yet funny & sometimes hard-hitting dialogs and fine performance by the actors concerned has ensured that "Thattathin Marayathu" is easily one of the finest movies of the year.The screenplay moves at a brisk pace interlaced with adequate doses of romance , humor , politics & sentiments. The beauty is that all these elements fall in place within the narrative & doesn't look forced into it. As said earlier dialogs are the major strength. Brilliantly written one-liners laced with humor , politics & the current happenings without any restrain makes one say kudos to the writer. Honesty in writing what bowls one over. That they have used actual political party names without fear is praiseworthy. Hence the mushy & tacky romantic dialogs can be excused.Though it is a oft-repeated story Vineet has not tried to be politically correct with respect to issues concerning religions. He has courageously addressed issues like the emancipation of Muslim women, respecting their wishes & aspirations and their freedom. All the same he does great deal of maturity without painting things black & white. The dialogs in the end mouthed by Srinivasan are brilliantly said without being preachy.Coming onto the acting part , Nivin Pauly has done a stupendous job as the protagonist Vinod. He literally carries the movie on his shoulder as the whole movie is said in his point of view. He shows great deal of mastery over emotions. Isha Talwar is luminous on screen & does her part well. Aju Verghese as Abdu , Vinod's friend is a show stealer. He brings down the roof with his witty one-liners. Though Srinivasan comes in a very brief role , he makes a lasting impact in the end. Rest of the cast have done their jobs adequately.Shaan Rahman , the music director of the movie is another star. He rocked both in his background score as well as in the songs. The background score blends well with the narrative & rings in the ears even long after the movie is over. "Muthuchippi" , "Anuragathin Velayail" , "Thattathin marayathe " are all well composed songs. Songs are definite pillars of strength for this movie.Technically also the movie is brilliant. Majority accolades for the same has to go to Jomon T John , the cinematographer of the movie. His camera has shot the natural beauty of Thallasery & Kannur is a splendid manner.Only negative point that one can think of is that movie is almost like a fairytale with everything falling in place without much struggle. One does get jealous of the ridiculous ease with which the protagonist achieves everything in this movie.On the whole, "Thattathin Marayathu" is a beautiful love story that will sure make you smile at the end.Bottomline: Beautiful

Vineeth Sreenivasan has once again came up with a beautiful cinematic experience. It's a simple movie without any unconventional plots or twists, no any high profile song sequences, null amount of high dose action scenes. It tells the story of Vinod(Nivin Pauly) a simple guy from Telicherry town who adores a Muslim girl Aisha(Isha Talwar)of a wealthy family. The crux of the movie lies in the efforts made by Vinod & his friends to approach Aisha and thereafter make her fall for her. Vineeth has once again impressed with a well written script and equally good direction, which was well supported by DOP Jomon and all other crew members. Nivin has been impressive in his role and the new face Isha has caught every eyes with her stunning beauty. On the whole a good movie, which you would like to see again and again
